Haansoft Releases Windows 7-Compatible
"ThinkFree Tegaru Office" in Japan
- New office product that can be used in Microsoft's new Windows 7 OS
- ThinkFree ranked 2nd in office package sales in Japan
- Growing market share thanks to leading technology
On October 21, Haannsoft Inc. (www.haansoft.com, CEO Young-Ick Kim, hereinafter referred to as "Haan") announced the release of ThinkFree Tegaru Office, a Japanese version of its office suite that can be used in Windows 7 and will soon be available nationwide from Sourcenext Corporation, Haan's authorized seller in Japan.
ThinkFree users will have no difficulty using the software in Microsoft's new Windows 7 OS — officially released on October 22. The new package includes the same programs as the previous version: Write (word processor), Calc (spreadsheet program) and Show (presentation program).
As well as retaining the core functions of the existing suite, the software is also compatible with MS Office. However, unlike the previous version, ThinkFree will be stored on a USB pen and sold in major stores for JPY 4,980. Sourcenext Corporation will oversee all sales as Haan's authorized seller in Japan.
Since ThinkFree Tegaru Office entered the Japanese market in 2007, the software has been popular thanks to its excellent functionality and compatibility with the MS office suite. As at August, 2009, Haan achieved the second highest total annual sales in Japan, outperformed only by its counterpart Microsoft, and Haan expects this sales figure to increase even further thanks to the new software's advanced features.
Haan also plans to build on the success of the ThinkFree program and establish itself firmly in the Japanese market as a reliable software producer, as well as launching its products on the international market.
According to Haan CEO, Young-Ick Kim, "The Windows 7-compatible software will be the launch pad for us to further our reputation as one of Korea's most successful software companies, not only in Japan but all over the world."
